The most important decisions about your kids’ education aren’t being made in Washington.
They’re happening in local school board meetings—often late at night, with almost no one watching.
And those decisions are shaping what children are taught, what they’re exposed to, and what values are reinforced in the classroom.
Here’s the reality: The Left understands exactly how powerful these school board positions are.
That’s why they’ve spent years organizing, recruiting and training candidates to take control of school boards across the country.
And it’s working.
But we’re not sitting on the sidelines. At Family Policy Alliance Foundation, we built the School Board Academy™ to train leaders to step into these roles and to lead with conviction.
And the need has never been greater.
In 2026 alone, more than 25,000 school board seats are on the ballot across the country. And in many communities, these seats are barely contested—or not contested at all. Some races are decided by just a handful of votes.
Others are canceled because only one person steps forward… or no one does.
Which means the people who are trained, prepared and willing to step in…
Win.
That’s why this moment matters. And it’s exactly why Family Policy Alliance Foundation is investing in training leaders right now.
Through the School Board Academy, we’re equipping both candidates and current school board members, giving them the tools and confidence to step in, lead and make an impact from day one.
And it’s already making a difference.
Leaders trained through the School Board Academy are already helping:
- To protect girls’ sports from unfair competition
- To push back against explicit content in school libraries
- To stand up for parents’ rights in education
This is how change happens. Not just reacting to bad policies—but placing strong, prepared leaders where decisions are actually made.
Right now, we’re working to expand the School Board Academy and to train more leaders in communities across the country.
But we can’t do it without you. Thanks to a generous $500,000 challenge grant, every dollar you give today will be DOUBLED when you give by May 31st.
That means your tax-deductible gift will go twice as far in equipping leaders to step into these critical roles and protect the future of our kids.
